Chapter 1294

This damn lunatic!

Watching him finish off the cleaner first, then devour nearly half of the nightmare, and now eyeing his own "main body" with covetous intent, the scalp of Nightmare Li Ang suddenly went numb.

Although he had long known that someone capable of such insane acts as destroying half the Dream Realm could not possibly be mentally stable, after truly coming into contact with Li Ang, the extent of the other's instability still far exceeded Nightmare Li Ang's imagination.

"Aren't you afraid of the Bureau's retaliation for doing something like this!"

With a growing sense of urgency in his heart, Nightmare Li Ang secretly searched for other nightmares while taking the opportunity to launch a psychological offensive:

"If the people from the Bureau find out you killed so many cleaners in one go, they will definitely execute you on the spot! If you don't want to end up like that..."

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

After wiping the divine blood that kept streaming down his face, Li Ang, who had seen through the other's intentions at a glance, naturally wouldn't explain that the cleaners were still alive, but instead asked back with a calm expression:

"You are the murderer who killed them; what does that have to do with me?"

"You?!"

Hearing Li Ang's response, Nightmare Li Ang's eyes couldn't help but widen sharply.

So... he intends to frame me for everything? Damn it! How can this guy's heart be even darker than mine?

Watching Li Ang's look of having him completely figured out, a somewhat annoyed Nightmare Li Ang took a deep breath, then turned his head and left immediately, backtracking all the way up from the deepest part of the Abyss of Fallen Souls, beginning to search for and devour nightmares that could fill the 【Nightmare】 authority.

Li Ang, who had made up his mind to pester him, naturally followed without hesitation; the two... the two Li Angs, as if competing, maintained a state of eating whatever they saw, sprinting all the way upward.

And even though Nightmare Li Ang could spread a sea of insects, his feeding efficiency was far from what Li Ang could match. Yet, as Li Ang kept slashing through the insect sea while using his extreme speed to snatch targets first, his "feeding" speed actually surpassed Nightmare Li Ang's, and as he became more proficient, Li Ang's feeding efficiency began to soar...

No! This absolutely cannot go on!

"Leading" the relentlessly pursuing Li Ang behind him, they reached several of the largest nightmare gathering points in the Abyss of Fallen Souls, and after completely devouring the nightmares within, Nightmare Li Ang discovered with shock and anger that he had eaten far less than Li Ang.

The last time the Nightmare King descended upon the world, he took away more than half of the elite nightmares in the Abyss of Fallen Souls. Those unlucky nightmares were first slaughtered by the Director of the Virgin Branch, then heavily gnawed upon by the 【Dream-Eating Alien Armor】 released by the Destroyer; in the end, not even one-tenth of them returned to the Abyss of Fallen Souls.

Even though nightmares in the Abyss of Fallen Souls could be revived from the River of Nightmares, revival takes time. Currently, the number of nightmares in the Abyss of Fallen Souls was already extremely small, and the elites that could be used to fill the 【Nightmare】 authority were even rarer.

And the damn "main body" was eating faster than him; about eighty percent of the nightmares had ended up in his stomach. If this ratio continued, even if he led him to eat the entire Abyss of Fallen Souls empty, he estimated he wouldn't be able to fill the missing 【Nightmare】 authority.

There's no other way!

After realizing the crisis he was facing, Nightmare Li Ang suddenly stopped in his tracks, and then, to Li Ang's surprised expression, took a deep dive into the River of Nightmares beneath his feet.

What is he trying to do?

Caught off guard by Nightmare Li Ang's abnormal behavior, but because he didn't sense any danger, Li Ang only hesitated for a split second before decisively following suit, also diving into the River of Nightmares, passing through countless nightmare fragments that were being born and destroyed, chasing after Nightmare Li Ang all the way.

I'll let you chase!

Seeing Li Ang actually chase him down, Nightmare Li Ang's heart couldn't help but secretly harden, and then he suddenly stretched out both hands, as if grabbing an incomparably heavy door, and pulled with all his might, gritting his teeth!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a strange sound that existed only in consciousness, the pitch-black, incomparably deep bottom of the River of Nightmares was actually torn open by Nightmare Li Ang, creating a wide gap. A massive amount of pitch-black river water, carrying countless shattered nightmares, surged into the gap along with Nightmare Li Ang.

Could it be?!

After hazily glimpsing the scenery inside through the huge gap nearly a hundred feet wide at the bottom of the river, Li Ang's heart couldn't help but tighten sharply, and the reminder from Senior Amien that appeared in his ear at the right moment perfectly verified his conjecture.

"Li Ang, you must catch up quickly."

The voice of the Bandage Woman, which had always been calm and steady, suddenly added a hint of anxiety.

"He probably discovered that under your snatching and harassment, the current number of nightmares in the Abyss of Fallen Souls is not enough for him to complete the missing 【Nightmare】 authority. If I'm not mistaken, he should be preparing to act like the Goddess of Dream Entertainment, relying on his status as half a 'Lord of Nightmares' to forcibly break the separation between the layers of the Dream Realm, letting the River of Nightmares, which should only exist in the Abyss of Fallen Souls, pour directly into other Dream Realms."

"What will happen if he does this? Will it help him complete the 【Nightmare】 authority?"

"Yes."

The Bandage Woman sighed and said:

"I told you before that the Dream Realm looks like it has many layers, but in reality, there is only one. Each layer of the Dream Realm seems independent, but in fact, they are all different manifestations of other Dream Realms; they are actually completely unified.

Therefore, once the creatures of other layers of the Dream Realm are washed and soaked by the water of the River of Nightmares, it is equivalent to 'jumping ship' from the current layer of the Dream Realm directly into the Abyss of Fallen Souls, and they will be forcibly transformed into a nightmare."

So... as long as he eats these newly transformed nightmares, he can completely complete the missing 【Nightmare】 authority and become a Lord of Nightmares no longer affected by me?!

After completely understanding Nightmare Li Ang's plan through the exchange with Senior Amien, Li Ang didn't dare to delay, directly driving the 【Mino-Hill Curse Mercury】 with all his might to chase after him, rushing into another layer of the Dream Realm along with the pitch-black river water.

"This layer is the Valley of Reflecting Sky, one of the nine Great Dream Realms, representing lucid dreams, characterized by the ability to consciously control one's own dreams..."

Amidst the introduction from Senior Amien, Li Ang rushed at full speed toward Nightmare Li Ang, who was feasting, stepped forward, dropped his shoulder, and used an Iron Mountain Lean to knock him away, then snatched a deer that he had already stuffed into his mouth.

"Tha... thank you..."

At the moment when he was almost eaten, suddenly being saved, the shaken deer instinctively thanked him.

However, after glancing at it, now completely nightmare-fied, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh, and then, to the shocked expression of the Deer Nightmare, raised his hand and threw it into his own mouth as well.

"You're welcome."

"Ah?!!!"

Just as the Deer Nightmare disappeared into Li Ang's mouth while screaming, Nightmare Li Ang, who had been knocked away, didn't stop for a moment, actually raising his hand again to tear open the Valley of Reflecting Sky, and rushed into the next layer of the dream with the surging River of Nightmares.

"This layer is the Well Path of Climbing the Moon, one of the twelve small Dream Realms, representing trauma dreams..."

"Save... ah, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

"What are you doing? Hey..."

"This layer is the Walking Mountain... Great Dream Realm... physiological dreams..."

"Everyone run! Destroyer... ah, who are you?"

"You're also welcome."

"?!!!"
